--------------------------------------
..., the equation of a line given two points?
-------------------------------------

Points (p,v) and (h,k)

slope

Choosing (h,k) and the expression for slope, line contains points (x,y):

and you can go one or two steps further, to put into form y=mx+b;
where m is slope and b is y-intercept. Specific examples for the two given points can be simplified into the specific equation.
